Academic Editorial / ESL Editing

Billington Media does not offer substantive editorial for academic works, as we believe that you must succeed in academia through your own merit.

We do however, offer copy editing and proof reading for academics, in order to aid you get the knowledge you have developed across to the marker clearly and succinctly.

It must be difficult studying in English when it is your second language, and sometimes international students get some of the more basic grammatical and spelling processes wrong. In their course they are not being assessed on their English language skills, but unfortunately it can impact academic achievement, bringing marks down.

Billington Media will happily copy edit and proof read ESL essays and papers, not changing the content, but correcting spelling errors and rearranging words in sentences for clarity.

Copy Editing

Copy editing aims to achieve accuracy, clarity and consistency in a document. It does not involve significant rewriting, providing a single authorial voice, or tailoring text to a specific audience—these belong to a substantive edit.

Proof Reading/Line Editing

Proofreading involves checking that the document is ready to be published. It includes making sure that all elements of the document are included and in the proper order, all amendments have been inserted, the house or other set style has been followed, and all spelling or punctuation errors have been deleted.
